Custom colors in multiline chart.

[dicktornfeldt]

Can we set specific custom color to the different lines in a multiline chart?

Lets say I have 4 different charts on one page.

In two of the graphs there are three different lines (three different brands, X Y and Z).
In the third graph, there are only two different lines (two different brands, Y and Z).
In the last graph, there are only two different lines (two different brands, X and Z).

I always want brand X, brand Y and brand Z to have their own "brand-color" in all of the charts. Something like:

$chart->addSeriesPoint('Brand X', $date, $value, 'red');
$chart->addSeriesPoint('Brand Y', $date, $value, 'green');
$chart->addSeriesPoint('Brand Z', $date, $value, 'blue');

I know about setColors([...]). But with this I can't connect a color to a certain brand as it's not certain that all different brands will be present in all different charts.

Hi,
You can set the color of each line in the multiline chart by adding: ->addColor()

$chart->addSeriesPoint('Brand X', $date, $value)->addColor('#b70000');
$chart->addSeriesPoint('Brand Y', $date, $value)->addColor('#239600');
$chart->addSeriesPoint('Brand Z', $date, $value)->addColor('#0619cc');

The documentation tells you to use addColors but this seems to be wrong.
